    We took a vacation in Vietnam, and since we are over 50, We wanted the trip be interesting but on easy pace, and we got it all. We participated in cooking and yoga classes in Hanoi, explored Halong Bay, toured Hue, and enjoyed a relaxing stay in Phu Quoc. We were satisfied with all the services arranged. The prices for the services provided were fair. We enjoyed everything and explored most of the major attractions as well as other sites.

    Lucy and her team provided us with a customized itinerary for our trip to Vietnam, including sightseeing in Hanoi, Halong Bay, and services like massages and yoga classes in Hue and Phu Quoc. Our local guides were very informative and shared personal experiences that made our journey meaningful. The relaxing days in Phu Quoc left us enchanted and unwilling to leave. I can't recommend her enough.

    I was a bit apprehensive since all the bookings were done online. However, Realistic Asia team amazed us with their professionalism and attention to our preferences. Thang and his team did a fantastic job. Phu Quoc is a must-visit beach for a complete vacation; it's a pity we couldn't stay longer. I also loved Halong Bay, with many interesting activities. Vietnamese cuisine is diverse, and even though I'm vegetarian, the vegetarian options exceeded my expectations. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and will surely book with you again for our next trip to Vietnam!

    A wonderful vacation for myself and my family. We were given many options, and the tours were tailored to our preferences. All the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and made the trip memorable and enjoyable. Thang was always available to answer any questions and provide guidance when needed. Highly recommend his services.

    Our trip was organized by Long, who was patient and took the time to understand our requirements. We changed our minds and added to the itinerary several times, and each time he responded carefully, patiently, and attentively. A friend recommended Long and Realistic Asia to us, and we were not disappointed. We would recommend this company to anyone traveling to Vietnam. All the activities at the destinations were wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The guides, drivers, and staff took great care of us. Additionally, our flight was delayed for 8 hours due to an issue with Vietnam Airlines. Long rescheduled our itinerary, refunded us, and assisted with the paperwork for our insurance company for the activities we missed. Thank you for these arrangements and support.

    My wife and I booked this trip through Thang at Realistic Asia. He took care of everything. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke good English. They were very adaptable to any changes we wanted to make along the way. The drivers were amazing and friendly as well. Thang was available via text/call before and during our visit. Thank you to Thang and his team. We loved Vietnam and look forward to our next trip.

    My trip to Vietnam arranged by Lucy. Everything about it was fantastic. The hotels Lucy selected were wonderful, clean, with excellent service, and delicious breakfasts. The food overall was incredible. The private tour guides were exceptional, going above and beyond to provide a unique and outstanding experience that exceeded my expectations. Lucy listened to my feedback and tailored the trip to my specific wishes. I will highly recommend Realistic Asia to others.

    Realistic Asia was extremely professional from the start, and everything was wonderful—from the booking stage to the tours. Vietnam is an amazing place with long beaches, incredible cuisine, and very friendly and hospitable people. All the hotels were comfortable and well-located. The guides spoke good English, were friendly, and knowledgeable. All the transfers worked like clockwork. Fusion Resort Phu Quoc was fantastic for relaxation.

    Long was our representative with Realistic Asia. I contacted him with our desires, and he adjusted the initial itinerary to suit my family’s preferences. We were satisfied with everything. He ensured attention to the smallest details and kept in constant contact with us throughout the trip. The guides were very friendly, helpful, flexible, and of course, knowledgeable. The same goes for all the hotels, restaurants, etc. We thank Long for the wonderful vacation and will recommend his services to all our friends.

    Our advisor Thang was great. The communication from Thang before our trip was frequent, and we knew we would be well taken care of. And indeed, we were. All the guides were knowledgeable, cheerful, and spoke good English. The drivers were also excellent in their skills and very friendly. I truly want to recommend Thang, his colleagues, and Realistic Asia. Thank you for making our first trip to Asia so memorable.
